[b]"Fuck!"[/b] Bones yelped as the light pulled at his feet, doing [i]something[/i] to him and Xune's skeletal minions. Although he could not feel any pain, it certainly looked like it would have hurt and he went reeling backwards away from the pylon as soon as he was able to. [b]"Look but don't touch eh."[/b]

At the very least, one thing was confirmed. The pyramid saw Bones as an enemy, this in spite of its energies being responsible for his current state. It saw him as a threat.

[i]Good.[/i]

Just as he was pondering his next step however, the elf suddenly came flying through the air like an arrow and struck one of the pylons with her blade... then all hell broke loose. Four hulking figures emerged around the pylons - none that Bones recognized for a small blessing - and slowly, inexorably, they began to advance upon the party.

[b]"I don't think the pyramid liked that,"[/b] Bones said as he drew his sword and dagger. [b]"Must be something important. Shall we try it again?"[/b]

[i]Ah, but I can't approach these pillars,[/i] he thought as his eyes darted around, trying to find a solution. [i]Come on, think, think, think![/i]

Seeing one of the gargantuan figures approaching closer, Bones attempted to move out of the way only to find another barring his path. And then, just as he was about to resign himself to making a desperate last stand, an idea struck.

[b]"I'll draw them away!"[/b] he shouted as he ran to intercept the ones closest to Mantis. Then gesturing towards one of the pylons with his sword, [b]"You two break these damn things! Come on ugly, over here!"[/b]

And with that, Bones made his attempt to lure the four towering constructs away from the party.
